IMO bug #64264 (gnome-menus doesn't send notification for new .desktop files), bug #96727 (When copying does not escape special characters), and bug #113652 (Alacarte still doesn't handle spaces properly) are all the same bug.
Here are steps to reproduce:
1) Revert
2) Create folder in "Sound&Video"
--> Name: test
--> Comment: (blank)
3) Create item in Sound&Video
--> Name: test<special character>test
--> Command: test
--> Comment: (blank)
Travis,
